Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 731 - Bab 740

Millie's eyes gleamed with disdain as she contemplated how he could possibly sense her concern for him. She was actually more concerned about her own safety than anything else.Millie glared at him and exclaimed, "Fine, fine! If you're not feeling tired, then just take me to the research lab. When did you start enjoying playing chauffeur for everyone?"Winston appreciated Millie's nagging, finding it sweet. He wished she would nag him more to feel closer to her. He entered the elevator, and his mood brightened instantly.Millie couldn't help but scold him, "Your grandmother is in the hospital, yet you don't care. Instead, you focus on me. Winston, you never get your priorities straight.""You and Grandma are both important. She's fine, so I chose to drive you back. There's no need to worry. But even if I decided to stay at the hospital to care for her, I know you also wouldn't complain. Right, Millie?"Millie watched him silently as the elevator numbers decreased. She realized Win

Millie arrived at the research lab to find Natalie waiting at the door. She cast an indifferent glance in Natalie's direction.Natalie stopped her. "Is there anything you'd like to tell me?"Millie chuckled. "What exactly do you want me to share? Should I update you on my schedule? Do you want to know who I've been meeting?"Natalie glared at Millie, seething with anger. She was baffled as to why Millie hadn't bothered to explain anything about Butterfly. She felt displeased. After all, she had explicitly brought up Butterfly in their previous conversations. Not only was Millie aware of Butterfly, but she also knew her personally. And yet, Millie continued to feign ignorance and mock her. It was utterly despicable."Millie, why didn't you tell me you knew Butterfly?" Natalie felt embarrassed at the jewelry exhibition.Millie smiled. "I not only know Butterfly, but I'm also acquainted with Milla. I have quite the network. Do you want me to report all of them to you?"Natalie fro

Millie coughed softly, almost choking on the water. She couldn't help but wonder why everyone around her had been talking about Butterfly lately. While they seemed fascinated, she was beginning to feel weary of the constant mention.Sean noticed Millie coughing and promptly offered her a tissue. Millie simply shook her head and sniffled. She asked, "Is Butterfly that talented? Why does everyone want to hire her one after another?"Sean cleared his throat and said, "Aren't you Butterfly's friend? I've heard the news about you two."He was somewhat awkward, leaving Millie at a loss for words. She now understood why Sean had invited her to dinner and sent her flowers."Mr. Stringer, so?" Millie tilted her head, eager for Sean to get to the point.Sean was stunned. He couldn't quite understand how the conversation had shifted to Butterfly. He immediately explained, "Millie, I didn't invite you to dinner to get you to contact Butterfly for me. I'm already in touch with her."He was

Winston took a sip of water. His eyes quietly read Millie, who looked uninterested as she ate her food. He was well aware of her close relationship with Butterfly, but he had no idea how that came to be.Feeling uneasy under his stare, she put aside her utensils and said quietly, "I need to use the restroom. Please continue without me."She got up quickly and stole occasional glances at her phone. The three of them stared at her until she vanished from their sight. Jake let out a sigh. "Hey, Win, let's leave. I'll go to the bar with you if you want to grab a drink."He was reluctant to see two of his friends fighting over a woman. More importantly, he felt uncomfortable being sandwiched between them.He couldn't justify speaking up for Winston. After all, Winston had truly hurt Millie's feelings with his past actions. Besides, she had no feelings for him now.However, he couldn't bring himself to side with Sean, either. He objected to Sean's decision to pursue a friend's ex-wife

With that, Millie returned to her seat. At the table, Sean and Jake appeared to be engaged in a somber discussion.After she took her seat, she continued having her dinner. Winston joined them soon after, but he didn't sit. Instead, he said to Jake, "Jake, let's go."Surprised, Jake wondered if that was the end of dinner.Winston grunted. "Something came up at work. Or should I leave first?"Jake couldn't help but look at Millie. Since Winston and Millie left at the same time, he suspected that they probably had a chat.Jake, always the most observant, noted the unusual calm shown by Winston and Millie, which was an indicator of disguise.Naturally, he wouldn't stay behind to play the third wheel. Nodding, he replied, "I'll go with you."Winston gave Sean a heavy look and a nod before leaving. Sean frowned at his attitude change. What exactly did he and Millie talk about?Jake had to hurry up to catch up with Winston, who was speedwalking.Once they were gone, Sean asked Milli
